I'm pretty sure that's not a solid top though - the midline of the veneer and the maple cap beneath it do not line up. Doesn't matter though, I've just bought a very similar ObG 59R (the thread below yours) and it absolutely kills any other LP I have played.

That's just silly.
They are basically the same (Fujigen and Terada - OBG's).

That's your opinion but not that of the market

There is no such thing as "market opinion".
There are people who prefer Terada OBG's and Fujigen OBG's - it's a matter of preference, it really is ridiculous to say one is inferior to other since there are so many variants of guitars made from both of the factories.

I've never really understood why people say it, but I'm getting the impression that Fuji is preferred over Terada... I've played ObG examples from both and they were excellent with no obvious discrepancy in quality.
